    "once in a generation talent pool" is something we've been hearing for decades, usually with the same outcome, failure!

    Exactly. How many of the current pool would get in a combined 11 with either the Euro 2004 or Euro 96 squad? And that's just in my life time.

    None of the GK or defence now is better than Euro 2004 - there's maybe an argument for Walker.

    Midfield - Rice maybe but, is he any better than the likes of Carrick, Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard? 

    Attack - Bellingham absolutely, Foden probably. Kane is obviously absolutely fantastic but England have always had great strikers to choose from - linekar, shearer, Owen, Rooney etc

    Compared to the 2014 squad then we are unrecognisably better and we have some really exciting talent but is it really the best crop players we've ever had to choose from?

    Whether people rated him or not, is  irrelevant really now. We have lost a manager who was so honest and decent and prepared to let the fans know about some of the crazy things going on at the club

    It's a sad state to be in but I would prefer a manager who loses games but is shouting at the top of his voice about how shit the club is rather than a manager who gets wins and but blows peas up waggots arse. 

  3. I've only seen in passing on Facebook and haven't read in detail as I'm out and about but nixon has done a story saying venkys have been approached buy potential buyers but won't sell unless we get to the PL. As frustrating as that is as we'll never get promotion under the venkys, it might at least shut up the crowd who always spout "who is going to buy us"

    That's before then there is after i.e the Indian govt will want proof the money was used for what it was allocated for and nothing else.

    That's the centre of this whole issue.

    Then surely once that is confirmed as legit and signed off then the 11 million equivalent should be released back to Vs or obviously held if the same amount is allowed to be sent again.  It can't be as if they have to keep giving the govt equal amounts as security and they just keep hold of it as has been mentioned.

    Admittedly I hadn't given it much thought but I'd thought it was that they put the money in a bond and then it would be released after the investigation had ended but what you said makes me sense.

    I actually thought it was a really disappointing game given the quality of the two sides. City weren't at it at all I didn't think

     

    Depends. I think if you were rooting for city it was probably a damp squib. If you were rooting for Liverpool it was quite exciting - some big let offs at one end and some great chances at the other. 

  6. Is there any point in sports broadcasters employing referees as pundits? 95% of the time they agree with what ever decision is made no matter how bizzare it is. 

    Mike Dean yesterday after that high boot 

    "He's got to go to the monitor here, thats a penalty"

    "Check complete"

    "Yeah, not a pen for me" 

  7. It's more comforting to think that there is a big malicious ulterior motive behind it like a match fitting betting scandal. Because if that's true it can eventually unravel, venkys get punished, we're freed from our captors and justice is served. 

    Because the alternative is that it's not, it's just incompetence and lower level book fiddling, the reign of terror is indefinite and we don't get justice. 

    And for that reason I hope we are a money laundering outfit.
